I found your channel several years ago as I was searching how to make a succulent ball. The video was great & very informative however my arrangement did not turn out well 😢. But through my failure I have learned so much about succulents & landscaping from your videos. My mom who lives in Georgia (her garden is like the cover to a better homes & garden magazine) came up to NJ visit this spring and was so impressed with all my new plants & flowers. Everyone kept saying oh I can tell your mom was here & I said she was but this was all me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Love learning more about succulents Laura! I had to laugh when you got your pen out to make the holes then promptly laid it down and used your finger! I do that type of thing all the time. Even bring gloves out to use them, seemingly unconsciously take them off, lay them beside me and get in there with my hands. Then when putting my tools away I need to go out and find my gloves! Lol.

I know you think your channel is mainly outdoor plants, but I first found your channel years ago when you did your first succulent arrangement at your old townhome. I was new to plants, and I was told succulents were the best to start with. So I did one of those “succulent of the month” things. I soon discovered that I am a heavy waterer, and I should of started with regular houseplants. But thanks to your channel and the knowledge you share, I know exactly where I went wrong. I lost 99% of the succulents I received in the mail to over watering. Now (I guess it’s been closer to 6 yrs) I have over 200 houseplants and 100 succulents in our home. And all are thriving beautifully thanks to the things you have taught me through the years. Your channel is always my go-to for plants. I even have a section of water plants that are still doing amazing after 3-4yrs!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and giving me a direction to an actual hobby I love!!

[@bubbee29]

Ah, this video brought back some memories! The first video I saw from you guys was a similar dismantling of a succulent arrangement. I was like "why is this lady killing these poor plants?!". I have been watching every video since, and I even made some succulent arrangements myself. You guys also inspired me to start my own garden. It's very eclectic, because I love just plopping down plants all willy-nilly, but with every passing growing season it gets tidier. Thank you guys for making my thumb a little greener one video at a time!

[@laureenllacey6620]

My husband and I always watch your videos together! We were watching one you and your Mom were doing and she was wearing your hooded sweatshirt, I told my husband I loved it and he surprised me with it for Christmas. Best Christmas gift!!! We went to your parents Christmas open house because of your videos and they were wonderful! Everyone there was very helpful and it was a great day. We did go to the road to your house and stopped at the private drive sign, did not want to invade your privacy, but it gave us a prospective to where things were in your videos. Thank you for all you and Erin do we really appreciate all of it and the people you are is what makes the videos so good you never need to apologize for anything!!

Good morning Garden Answer friends! I have succulents in my landscape in Traverse City, Michigan, 5b zone. I thought at first they were fake, possibly the previous renters or landlord planted them & had some type of theme, I could not recognize under the layers of leaves since it was fall when we moved in. 🤔 I would have never of guessed a real succulent could live through. cold Michigan winters, outside in the ground. . However, these succulents proved me very wrong. The next fall I dug them up since the chicks and hens were forming randomly through irises. They are now lined up and doing well. Thank you Laura for another wonderful tutorial video.

Oh no. You are not getting me started on the succulent thing again! A few years ago watching your succulent videos, I became obsessed with them. Of course, it was winter. I learned you could get them by mail order if you paid for a heat pack to travel to Iowa. I spent some money that winter and learned a lot about succulents. They are very interesting, but I also learned that I don't have space to grow a lot of varieties and there are only a few that I really like to grow. It is all good. Somebody else might find a new specialty. It is easy to watch you and want to try what you are growing, but as viewers, we need to realize that not everything is going to be for you. I now know that I "do not prefer" growing cacti or most of these little succulents indoors in the conditions I have available. Again, that's okay. You do a great job showing how to grow all kinds of things and enticing us to try. I just want to grow everything!
